Hi, I'm new here

Stumbled upon this forum as I'm googling for a trustworthy luthier to do a refret job for me.


Anyway, the little one is my all-hardwood mahogany tenor Pono. It plays beautifully - the tuning is true all the way up the neck.

Given the limited surface area of the soundboard relative to the weight of the nylon strings, I wouldn't think better strings have significant tonal improvement, unless the uke was made to be responsive in the first place.


I much prefer Worth strings to Aquila. They have a warm yet biting sound, and last really, really long.

Never had an issue with ease to chord. That is mainly a function of the fretboard radius, rather than the strings. I mean... nylon's nylon.
